Chapter 589 Should the Juniors Tie Her Up?
Song Yuntang noticed the movement outside the carriage and warned them.
"Wencheng, stop joking."
Xu Wencheng turned his head to look in the direction of the Xu Mansion's carriage, put away his sword and gave orders to his men.
"Tie them all up and take them to Yangdu Marquis's Mansion!"
He didn't care about the other person's identity.
With such little ability, he actually dared to get close to my sister-in-law and act wildly. He is simply looking for death!
He looked in the direction of Taoxi Mountain, mounted his horse, and led the Xu mansion's carriage towards the city gate.
Gu Xinjiu, who had parked the carriage far away and was observing the hustle and bustle here, was stunned when she saw Xu Wencheng's gaze and quickly lowered the curtain of the carriage.
The maid Linglan patted her chest.
"Miss, General Xu's eyes are so scary."
Gu Xinjiu held the handkerchief in her hand.
"How can a general who has made great achievements on the battlefield be considered an ordinary person?"
If I didn't have some skills, I would have died countless times.
Linglan lifted the curtain again and looked at the Xu family's carriage that was already driving away.
"I heard that the princess is looking for a marriage partner for General Xu recently. I wonder which girl she has taken a fancy to."
Gu Xinjiu also looked forward through the gap in the car curtain, then turned to look at her.
"Okay, everyone has gone far away, let's go home early and don't let mother wait for too long."
Ever since my father brought a concubine into the house, my mother took the initiative to move to a farm outside the capital, so that she could out of sight and out of mind. No matter how many times my father asked to take her back, my mother remained unmoved.
This kind of life has lasted for seven years.
During these seven years, although my mother ignored my father, my father did not treat them badly. He would send them any good things in the house and restricted the concubine in the house, not allowing her to leave the house and disturb my mother's peace.
Although her mother has a son and a daughter, her eldest brother can only come home once a month because he is studying. Every time he stays at home for two or three days, he leaves again. Only she, as a daughter, can stay with her mother, so she has to go back early.
Although she always said that she didn't need anyone to accompany her.
He also said that she had grown up now and should return home to live with her father, which would be beneficial for her future marriage.
But the mother didn't seem to have thought about one question.
Now that she, the mistress, is not here, no one knows who is in charge of the house. If it is not her biological mother, who would take the trouble to choose a husband for her and arrange her marriage?
…
Upon learning that General Xu and Princess Le'an had come to Yangdu Marquis's Mansion, the old marquis, who had originally stopped taking care of household affairs, was alarmed.
When Xu Wencheng and Song Yuntang led the kidnapped prince's wife and several maids into the Yangdu Marquis' Mansion, not only the prince, the Yangdu Marquis, and the Yangdu Marquis's wife were present, but the old marquis was also present.
Xu Wencheng raised his hands and clasped his fists.
"Old Marquis, Marquis of Yangdu, Crown Prince."
After Song Yuntang greeted a few people, he asked his men to bring all the people up.
The maids were fine. Apart from their clothes and hair being a little messy, they had no other external injuries.
Not only were Meng Xinyue's clothes and hair messy, but the blood on half of her face had already dried. Not only that, her lower body clothes were wet, and there was a faint smell of fishy smell floating in the air.
When she saw Xie Xuhe, the son of Yangdu Marquis, Meng Xinyue cried with great grievance.
"Prince, please save me! This bitch Song Yuntang wants to kill me!"
Seeing this, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was surprised.
Before, Meng Xinyue was involved in a scandal, and the Marquis' Mansion wanted to cancel the engagement with the Shangshu Mansion. However, Xie Xu and Xi Ai insisted on not canceling the engagement, so the two got together.
No matter how much he liked her at the moment, he couldn't help but frown when he saw her in such a miserable state, and asked the maid in the mansion to untie her.
Lady Zhai, the wife of the Marquis of Yangdu, frowned in displeasure, "What does Princess Le'an mean by this? Why did you kidnap the Crown Prince's Consort of my Marquis' Mansion?"
Although she didn't like this daughter-in-law, she had already married into the Marquis's Mansion and was a member of the Yangdu Marquis' Mansion.
Today, Princess Le'an and General Xu openly tied up her daughter-in-law and brought her to the door. They were extremely arrogant and did not take their Yangdu Marquis Mansion seriously.
Although the Yangdu Marquisate has not been as prosperous as before since the old marquis retired, it is still not something that the Xu family, a new noble family that has only arrived in Beijing a few years ago, can afford to offend.
It was not only the wife of Marquis Yangdu who looked unhappy, the Crown Prince and the Marquis also looked even angrier.
Only the old marquis remained calm.
"Princess Le'an, has my granddaughter-in-law offended you in any way?"
Song Yuntang did not stop the maid from Yangdu Houfu from untying Meng Xinyue.
"Today, the maidservant Baoji beside the Crown Prince's wife bribed Cuihuan, the maidservant of the second lady of the Fu family, to push my son into the water. Fortunately, the second uncle of the child reacted quickly and prevented the child from falling into the water and getting sick."
"Because the Crown Prince's Consort said that what Miss Baoji did had nothing to do with her, but because Miss Baoji was a maid in the Marquis' Mansion, she wanted to take her back to the mansion to punish her personally. But after all, she was the one who wanted to harm my son. I have always been narrow-minded and worried that the Yangdu Marquis' Mansion would protect her, so I did not agree to her request. I detained Miss Baoji and wanted to bring her to the Marquis' Mansion in person to ask the old Marquis to make the decision."
"As a result, the Crown Princess actually set up an ambush with assassins on the way and threatened me to hand over Miss Baoji. If my brother-in-law had not made arrangements in advance, I am afraid we would have been killed by the Crown Princess today."
As she spoke, she looked towards the old marquis.
"In that case, what do you think, old Marquis? Should I tie her up?"
Hearing this, the old marquis looked solemn.
Princess Le'an is well-known in the capital. She cares about the people and is a person with a big picture. She came here with great fanfare today, and what she says and does must not be false.
But if what she said was true, he could not keep this granddaughter-in-law any longer.
Otherwise, one day, Meng Xinyue would become the mistress of the Marquisate, and the Yangdu Marquisate that he had worked so hard to build would be ruined.
He looked at the maid who followed Meng Xinyue today.
"Is what the princess said true?"
The maids lowered their heads, looking at each other, not daring to say a word.
After seeing this scene, what else could the old marquis not understand?
"My granddaughter-in-law didn't." Meng Xinyue looked pitiful, "Princess Le'an is slandering me, my granddaughter-in-law is innocent."
After all, she was the person he had fallen in love with when he was young. When Xie Xuhe saw her, he couldn't bear it and embraced her in his arms without any disgust.
Looking at the situation in front of him, the old marquis frowned even deeper.
"Whether it is unjust or not is not up to the Crown Prince's Consort to decide."
Xu Wencheng waved his hand, and immediately people carried several corpses into the mansion. Some were killed by a knife, while others were pierced by arrows and were covered in blood.
In addition, seven or eight others were captured alive, with strips of cloth stuffed in their mouths.
The women and servants of the Yangdu Marquis's mansion looked at this scene and screamed and stepped back in fear.
Although the masters of the Marquis' Mansion pretended to remain calm, they were also shocked.
The Xu family’s methods are so tough!
"Old Marquis, please look, these are the assassins that the Crown Prince's wife brought with her when she threatened my sister-in-law to hand over the maids in Yangdu Marquis's mansion. Some of them who were not as skilled as her have been shot dead by my men, and a few others are still alive. If you are interested, it's still early today, so we can accompany you to interrogate them."
After a pause, he continued, "Or, we can go to the palace and ask His Majesty to make the decision, and let the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple investigate and see what kind of crime will be imposed for murdering the princess and the general."
